Disaster Index: 5.1 Entry: McTominay Gastric Incident, Pre-Haiti Cause: Scotland's most influential player absent from final pre-match training session due to stomach complaint, 48 hours before the opening fixture. Category: Structural Evidence: McTominay missed Thursday's final training session in North Carolina. The federation describes him as likely fit. Kenny McLean has publicly noted the contagion risk. The squad is in a shared hotel environment. Historical precedent: Scotland have a documented record of injury and illness news arriving in the window between final preparation and kick-off, when the information is too late to be useful and too early to be confirmed. Affected parties: Scotland squad cohesion; the portion of national confidence built specifically on McTominay's availability. Immediate outlook: Officially manageable. The Index notes that "hopefully that doesn't spread" is doing substantial work as a risk mitigation statement.
